PlayStation Store Update: Just Like Old Times

metaly — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 00:22:59 MDT

In case it saves people a few bucks, I just wanted to point out that SSHD has had custom soundtracks since the last free update. You don't need to buy the Solo add-on.

I love SSHD, but the add-on doesn't sound worth it to me. I'd prefer an update that adds online or splitscreen co-op. And I hate that my stats got erased, even without getting the add-on!

I played Broken Mirror last night for an hour or so. Great map, and the APC is a ton of fun. The thing serves as a spawn point when someone is driving around (I didn't know that before), so you can basically spawn anywhere on the map. Makes Zones a lot more interesting when the other team starts spawning in your home base. My DL took forever though.

Man, the new APC vehicle is nice. Adds another layer of strategy to both offense and defense. I'm liking it so far. Especially in CTF. Anyone else feels this way about the new APC?

@Ichidou: Second vote for the SSD HD add-on. Each of the three new games modes really adds something to the game. "Endless" is insane! If you like the game you won't be sorry.

However be warned, it will reset your game statistics (time played etc).

@Spartan1308: @JustinS: @okenny :):

The download on PSN is sans HD video, which must be downloaded separately if you want to view it, whereas the BD-ROM version has it all on the disc, including an extra video feature exclusive to it. I don't understand the 6GB install either though, as I'm pretty sure you still need the disc in the drive to play...

Playstation Store looks very nice now, better than Marketplace on XBL. I like the direction Sony is taking with their firmware updates. This is a very good move, now they just need to release the oft-delayed Home and in-game friendlist.

I don't think anyone really knows this, but the Super Stardust HD Solo includes an option where you can listen to music from the PS3's HDD at any point in the game.

You can also set it to play a folder full of crap, so yippee!

I dunno, I've found that many more reasons to play that game :)

Not like it wasn't good already, just that it makes it more entertaining, mind you :D!!

Ascully — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:30:38 MDT

I started downloading GT5P at about 6pm this evening its now 1.28 am and its 58% done. Sony really need to sort the servers out if you pay $40 for a game you should get priority on the transfer rate, its crazy having to wait a day just to play a game like this. And no my internet connection is not slow as I downloaded a HD movie off Xbox live last night which was 6GB and it took just under 2 hours.

I'm happy they decided to do the Warhawk booster bundle and I already downloaded it. The new maps are cool but seem like they'll need a ton of people for the vehicle layouts (they're huge) to be worthwhile. I look forward to using the APC and dropship on the older maps, though. And the new village deathmatch map on the glacier is great!

@Spartan1308: No they have the file size right, I have the downloadable version.

@okenny :): Extra content wouldnt make sense because this is a mandatory install. You could leave all the extra stuff on the disc.

At first I thought it would take up more space once installed but it doesnt as far as I can tell. Maybe all the PS3 installs are needlessly large. I mean really harddrive space isnt free. Couldnt they have installed the game from the disc using only 2GB, then require the disc in the drive to play (instead of the PSN connection like is used everytime you play the downloadable version)?

gunstarhero — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 23:14:14 MDT

This is a good update but still considering how we had nothing for two weeks in a row, it's disappointing. I know Sony has no control over the Rock Band/Guitar Hero DLC but everyweek it's a deluge of songs for games I don't have. Would like more PS1 and echochrome type stuff.

@JustinS: This is just a guess as don't own a PS3 but could it be since you downloaded it to your hard drive, it doesn't need to install as. The hardest part is probably dealing with blurry transfer rates and seek time. Even if the data is compressed on the hard drive, it's just faster to access. Maybe there's extra content on the disk version that enhance the experience like a rootkit or something. I'm sure there's a logical reason hear. Just be happy it not a 6 GB download.

@Spartan1308: The really stupid thing is that if you buy the game on BluRay it has an install that takes nearly 6GB of space.

The direct download version takes less than 2GB. How is it that the entire game takes up less space then the install for the disc version. I almost bought it on BluRay to save disc space.

I love playing Warhawk when CoD4 bores me and I'm sure I'll get the expansion eventually, but I'm waiting to see on my new gaming PC before I buy it. If it's ready tomorrow then I'll hold off and indulge myself in a weekend learning Company of Heroes and Opposing Fronts.

Either way, fun weekend for me :) !
